‘Making kites is like my job and I love it’

Trevor Smith showcasing some of his kites

Sixty-year-old Trevor Smith of William Street, Campbellville, Georgetown is what one would refer to as a veteran kite maker.

Stabroek News caught up with him at his usual place of business just next to Republic Bank on Camp Street, in downtown Georgetown. He told this newspaper that he has been selling hand-made kites for 44 years and it has been a success. “Even though I have a grocery shop that I run from my home, making kites is like my job and I love it.”
